CEO Perspectives is a unique leadership experience focused on the CEO agenda for top executives of major companies. Since 2005, almost 200 executives have been nominated by their CEOs or Board Chairs to be program Fellows. More than 60 leading CEOs have spoken at program events, more than 50 companies are corporate sponsors and 12 percent of Fellows have become CEOs.

“This first-ever partnership involving both Kellogg and Chicago Booth in executive leadership development will create a complementary and unmatched academic powerhouse, bringing program Fellows cutting-edge business and leadership frameworks and creating a model of academic collaboration,” said Kellogg Dean Sally Blount and Booth Dean Sunil Kumar.

Corporate Leadership Center was co-founded in 2002 by Sheila Penrose and Cheryl Francis, who drew on successful executive careers, public company and civic board service and strong connections with academic institutions and business leaders to create and deliver CEO Perspectives.

“It has always been our vision to draw on the academic talent of Chicago’s two world-class business schools,” said Ms. Penrose and Ms. Francis. “As CEO Perspectives enters an enhanced future, we are excited about the enriched program and the increased opportunities we will be able to provide as that vision is realized.”

During the program’s initial years, Kellogg served as an incubator for Corporate Leadership Center, and subsequently as its academic partner, providing insights from its study of executive leadership.

Kellogg’s Daniel Diermeier, IBM Professor of Regulation and Competitive Practice, will continue as Academic Director for the program, a role he has played since 2005. Professor Diermeier will be joined by an Academic Co-Director from Booth who will be appointed shortly. Erin McInerney will continue to serve as Executive Director, coordinating the program and networking events.

Rick Waddell, Chairman and CEO of Northern Trust, and John Edwardson, Retired Chairman and CEO of CDW Corporation, who chair the Dean’s Advisory Councils at Kellogg and Booth respectively, will join the CEO Perspectives Board.
